Tells you everything you need to know about Putin's mindset of this war.

Yes he thought he could win Kyiv in 2 days.

He boasted about able to take Kyiv easily as early as 2014.

Putin says two weeks here, not two days. Two days is just a ridiculous number It would be nothing short of moronic to expect that. You don't capture 4 millions city protected by a fairly modern army, in two days. I get that this narrative is very popular, but it's overstated. Sure, Ukranians are fighting hard. Sure, this whole war looks like a catastrophic mistake for Russia. But 2 days thing is just a myth by western propaganda. Two weeks I could give you, maybe.
